This is a slow-motion mini-crash, with a similar feel to October 87.. Except this time, at least, we are all about a a much less expensive market. 15x v. 29x. So much more about the outflows than then... https://t.co/pbDUpHkzTH

Edit to add: I don't think this is just about money and self-interest, the more important takeaway is that he can only understand business through his own selfish perspective, he has no big picture understanding. Likewise in the past, instead of figuring out how to succeed in failed business in the U.S., and the banks will no longer lend to him, he moves on to another mark, doing deals in Russia or wherever.

This is not assuring to other investors, as there is no there there. If they could figure out his economic theory, they could play it. But one cannot do that, because there is none.
